Hi,

I'm asking what law states that I am under arrest by default?  I don't
believe that is true.  You have to break a law to be under arrest, and being
under arrest requires telling you why you are under arrest, as well as the
reading of your Miranda Rights...I believe.

I also do not believe walking away from a supposed officer, who believes he
has "engaged" you, is a crime.  Perhaps it is...but I'd like to see the
actual written law that states that.  I just don't blindly believe these
type of things without some better understanding.

Austin
